Michael Neil Thomas AKA My World passed away on the 27th August 2006 after a very short illness age
13 (just) He was born and raised in Poole but sadly passed away in Southampton hospital PICU where
he had sadly been for the last 8 weeks of his life.Michael lived with his mum and dad 2 younger
brothers Ethan and Reuben and his little sister Indie 3, Michael died from an infection contracted
while having treatment for a rare form of cancer that he only had for 10 weeks.
Michael was our world from the day he was born he bought immense pleasure and joy into our lives
and that of many others, Michael lit up a room when he walked into it he had a fantastic sence of
humour and the biggest and brightest smile ever. Michael loved his family life and the times spent
with his friends, his only mission was to keep the peace and make everyone happy and that he did
with ease.Michael was a healthy child who rarely even caught a common cold, until the dreaded day he
found a lump in his armpit we were tod by 2 GPs and our local hospital that Mikey had a virus until
3 weeks later when he got so sick I thought we were going to lose him there and then, and ambulance
was called and he was taken to the same hospital we had already visited where thankfull the doctor
on the ward that night realised our desperatly ill Mikey was, he pulled out all the stops and made
sure that Mikey was seen by every medical specialist possible, EVENTUALLY a biopsy was performed on
the lump ( by this time mikey was coverd in lumps and a severe rash) the results showed that he had
an oncology problem he was then transferred to another specialist hospital where he was diagnosed as
having a Perephal T Cell Lymphoma, he was given treatment over his time there which at the most was
horrific, but Mikey faced his illness and treatment with courage,dignity and even managed to keep
his sense of humour for some part, but sadly Mikey caught an infection while he had no immune system
and sadly became gravely ill, he passed away with mum and dad at his bedside leaving a young family
in turmoil and pain.
He will be forver missed and there will ALWAYS be a massive whole in our hearts.xx

The Day God Called You Home

God looked around his garden,
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this Earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.

He knew you were suffering.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never,
Get well on Earth again.

He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace by Thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

i found a penny today
laying on the ground
but its not just a penny
this little coin i found

pennies come from heaven
that's what my dad told me
he said angels toss them down
oh, how i loved this story

he said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown

So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That michael tossed to you


godbless sleep tight xxx
